Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight personal injury or physical damage. Note that the ! CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to the circumstances. Always follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to personal safety. Please save this manual to make it accessible when required and always forward it to the end user. [Design Instructions] ! DANGER • When performing data changes or status control from the peripheral device to the running PLC, configure up an interlock circuit outside the PLC system to ensure that the whole system will operate safely. In addition, predetermine corrective actions for the system so that you can take measures against any communication error caused by a cable connection fault or the like in online operations performed from the peripheral device to the running PLC. • Follow the screen instructions when changing a module in remote station changing support operation. Not doing so can cause the module to fail or malfunction. [Start-Up/Maintenance Instructions] ! CAUTION • Read the manual carefully before performing the online operation which will be executed with the peripheral device connected to the running module. Not doing so can damage the machine or cause an accident due to misoperation. A - 2 A - 2 REVISIONS The manual number is given on the bottom left of the back cover.

Generic Term/Abbreviation Description GX Configurator-CC Abbreviation of GX Configurator-CC Version 1 Personal computer IBM PC/AT or its compatible personal computer R2 Abbreviation of the Type AJ65BT-R2 RS-232C interface module CC-Link Abbreviation of Control & Communication Link Remote station Generic term of remote I/O, remote device, local and intelligent device stations A - 9 A - 9 MEANINGS AND DEFINITIONS OF TERMS The terms used in this manual have the following meanings and definitions. (1) Master parameters Parameters used to set the number of modules connected to the master station, the number of retries, the number of stations occupied by a remote station, and others. (2) Remote parameters Parameters used to specify the values to be written to RWw of a CC-Link remote station. The remote parameters can be used to make settings to remote stations having E 2 PROM, e.g. inverters and AC servos. In addition, they can be used to perform RWw read/write tests on remote stations which do not have E 2 PROM, e.g. AJ65BT-64AD and AJ65BT-D62. (3) CSP file A CSP file indicates a device profile (CC-Link System Profile) handled by GX Configurator-CC. One CSP file is basically available for one remote station. However, some remote stations allow two or more choices in the number of occupied stations. In this case, different files are available for the set number of occupied stations.
